This adults-only, ultra-luxury hotel enjoys a fabulous waterside location, set into a hillside on the Istrian coast, just a 15-minute walk from Rovinj’s picturesque old town. Warm, earthy tones dominate the guestrooms, all of which have balconies with sea views and Croatian artworks specially commissioned for the hotel. The views from the higher Executive and Deluxe Rooms are particularly impressive.
A quartet of cascading pools weaves through lush gardens just above Lone Bay’s clear shallows and pebble beach.
Kayaks, paddleboards, sunbeds and shade, all laid on for guests to enjoy the serene sweep of Rovinj’s coastline.
The spa’s Turkish bath and sauna are a welcome retreat, with extra indulgence next door at sister hotel Lone.
Dine on refined Mediterranean plates at Mediterraneo or explore Croatia’s best wine list at the vaulted cellar below.
The beach bar keeps things stylish yet easygoing, with inventive cocktails and light bites served right by the sea.
Among the select few Relais & Chateaux properties in Croatia, this elegant country retreat is the embodiment of rustic charm and modern luxury. Inside its historic walls, guests are met by understated glamour, residential-style rooms and innovative cuisine, while outside is a vision of vineyards and olive groves.
As featured on the BBC’s Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby, Grand Park Hotel Rovinj sees elegant contemporary architecture set against centuries-old woodland in a blissful coastal location. It offers fabulous views across the bay to Rovinj’s old town, perhaps best enjoyed from the rooftop pool, or when looking through Europe’s biggest single glass window.
